Sort of a strange shoot...she's not really posing; she's sort of just standing there. But hey, Lily does look like she gained a little weight and looks a lot healthier, so that's a good thing.

She looks like a mermaid, except with legs. Beautiful.

she has beautiful breasts. it scares me though that women may find her lower half ideal. she looks naturally skinny, a freak of nature, with breasts.

i personally think that other women's bodies (especially models) are best in a helena christensen or monica bellucci way. womanly, with meat on their bones. gemma too. she looks more commanding like a late 80s/ early nineties supermodel like brigitte nielsen with her new slight weight gain.

i am curious to know what other women's bodies ideals are. this is not a self loathing question by the way....

actually brigitte wasn't a supermodel, but i mean like an amazon woman, or like rachel williams.

There is no doubt I prefer this new models than the ones in the 90's and I do think that when they do not go to extremes they have much better bodies to model clothes.

I do not understand why would you be scared that people like her lower half, I think it's almost perfect, and there nothing freakish about it, that shape and proportion it's much more common than you think, well without those long long legs anyway. She looks beautiful and I'm not even a Lily fan.

lou, that face with that body? freak of nature. her body is natural to her, but the thought of women who aspire to that size of her thighs is unreasonable. certainly there are plenty of women out there with small frames. but after seeing comment after comment about how beautiful that she is (and I agree,) i got nervous.

i am usually the person who rolls their eyes to the people who comment on a model's thinness. i am not complaining about her, it is more that you can see gals on this blog especially hold her in very high regard. her face is otherwordly, but all i am saying is that it is unreasonable to aspire to those thighs. she is very much the 90s waif, except for the breasts. she is absolutely lovely, but i am more concerned with the worship of her body type.

For a girl with such beautiful legs her arms look kind of stubby.

You coldn't pay me enough to want to look like her. She looks like a skinny pile of dough with a witch's head.

I think it's an amazing photo. It almost makes you feel a little uncomfortable at first, but then there's something about her eyes, maybe the tense pose of her body draws you in. (And I think her lower half is just fine.)

PS -- Thanks for the NSFW tag on the front page.

I love the photos and her blank, but not really blank expression is rather nice. I don't dislike her body, but it looks like a dress form. I'm not sure if thats good or bad.

As for her body ideals it really depends. I have reverence for so many body types, but if I had to trade bodies with someone, it wouldn't be the average model because so many of them have no hips. A suppose a body type similar to Kim Kardashian's(even though she offends my sensibilities) would be ideal. Runway wise, it would have to vary. I always tell myself that when I have a show I'll use more than one body type...that could all go out the window once it actually occurs, though.

Wow, Jac- that was really cruel. Lily's a doll (no pun intended) and frankly reads this blog. She looks alluringly engaging and beautiful; as always, I love Juergen's quirky candidness. There is something quite bewitching about the shoot's frankness, yet it is not promiscuous by any means. Perfect.

You're right, it came off a bit more negative than I intended. The witch comment was meant literally, as in her glowing skin and eyes and the crazy red hair. I don't like her body at all for myself, but I didn't say she was a bad model.
